CLASSES

Sanctuary Flow

​

We offer the same class throughout the week. (with a few variations) Every week a new class.

If you want to commit to your mat twice a week or more, this is your golden opportunity to learn, to explore and to develop further into your practice physically, mentally and spiritually.

Classes will combine Yin & Yang. Sometimes flowing actively, sometimes being still, moving slowly and listening to your body.

Expect Hatha, Vinasa and a healthy dose of spirituality, be it through Mudra's (hand gestures), Mantra's (spoken word) or Crystals & Sound.

There will often be an element of breathwork.

You will soon become aware of what our classes are all about and though we like to add elements of surprise and attune our classes to our client's needs, you will soon become part of The Mat Sanctuary and feel at home and at ease so you can focus 100% on being you, your needs and some rare time to yourself.

Welcome to YOUR Mat Sanctuary

Tuesday AM we focus on moving slow, making the class suitable for beginners+ (Meaning; it is good if you know your downward dog from your warrior 2)

We look at healing the body, becoming more flexible, stretching, increasing strength and balance. In your own time and within your own capabilities.

Suitable too for women who are either peri-menopausal, in the menopause or beyond it. As we look at how to stay well throughout it and at the other end.

We use the hour to stretch and work on flexibility through slow movements and stillness in a pose. We work on fascia release, bone strength, balance and a strong core. All the things you need for a healthy body and to keep feeling young.

Restfull Yin (with Tuuli)

Restul Yin yoga classes offer stillness and a safe space to relax, process and enjoy the present moment. Yin yoga is an effective way to increase softness and flexibility as the poses are held from 2-6 minutes to target the connective tissues and fascia. These classes combine yin with healing restorative yoga using bolsters, blocks, and blankets to fully support the body, aiming to activate its natural relaxation response, reducing excess stress and tension. Come and unwind from the day and reconnect with your feeling body.

Breathwork

​

Breathe as a vehicle for healing your mental & physical wellbeing.

In these sessions we learn how to control the breath consciously to influence our mental, emotional and physical state with a therapeutic effect and most importantly how to integrate this into daily life. All breathing techniques are personalised for your needs.

Breathwork can help with: emotional release, sleep, heart opening, anxiety, performance, resilience, trauma and chronic pain to name but a few. 

I won't bore you with all the science here but it is mesmerising how something we do all our lives, all day can dramatically change our well being when we do it well.
